Discount Pamono Art Deco Melon Mocha Set by Josef Hoffmann, 1980s, Set of 15

In 1929, Josef Hoffmann, founder of the legendary Wiener Werkstätte, designed this world-famous mocha service. Hoffmann was one of the greatest designers of the 20th century and a member of the Vienna Secession alongside artists such as Gustav Klimt, Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner.
Due to its numerous curves, it still poses the highest demands on Augarten’s porcelain painters when it comes to using the airbrush. The exotic fruit shapes with the cheeky knob and the comfortable handles, whose gently undulating form elegantly reflects the delicately ribbed walls of the vessels, characterise the charisma of this service.
